<p>You lore dorks (said lovingly if you don't already know!) are the ones who can tell whether or not this information has any value, would count as spoilers, etc.  Beats me!  I'm just typin' away!</p><p>These books are the ones mentioned in the recent Test update notes as the "Stack of Knowledge" in Runnyeye.  Previously it just said that you couldn't understand the goblish language (even if you knew it).  The update has added text, and here it is!  I'm also including the book that I thought was the updated, the Book of Baylzuthak, just to keep it all together.</p><p><strong>The Book of Bolgin</strong></p><p>... the adventurers pressed on deep into the labyrinth of Golm, kingdom and safe haven of the one true master Bolgin Serilis.  There within his dark twisting tunnels did they discover the "Tome of Goblinoids". <em>[sic]</em>  The tome speaks the name Bolgin Serilis and all eyes that gaze upon know the truth of our origins.  We...</p><p>... blasphemy of Brell has been exposed.  His torment of the true master may still reign, but the truth has been released.  Let the words scream from clan to clan and to even the lesser tribes.  We are united under one truth.  We are all children of Bolgin Serilis.  So says the "Tome of Goblinoids"...</p><p><strong>The Book of Refuge</strong></p><p>... not from mist, but from nothing at all did they appear... we could do nothing.  Many of the clan fell and many of the clan would fall again so that our retreat could exist... Within the safe haven of the citadel we grow in strength and wait to strike.  We wait to reclaim our land.  We fight to be not like the pudgy shorts that vanished at the wrath of the fiends.  Our time...</p><p><strong>The Book of Deliverance</strong></p><p>... this is how the eyes have bled.  At the hands of goblins we are victorious!  Overlord Baylzuthak has beaten their best, the great eye Rulgax.  The great eye was no match for the power of Baylzuthak, the power that now leads us all towards greater glory.  Long live Baylzuthak, king of Runnyeye.</p><p><strong>The Book of Baylzuthak</strong></p><p>... here within my throne I rule with mighty fist.  All others bow down before my might be they goblin, minotaur or eye.  My throne room shall be my sanctuary to protect me from the greater powers that no doubt plot to slay the rising subjugator of Norrath.  It is the destiny of the goblins to rule under me and lay waste to...</p><p>... This book shall be bound with magic untold, magic taken from the recesses of the mind of the eternal one, Varsoon.  Only a man deconstructed could ever be trusted, but for only a wink of time.  His evil permeates the very air of his fortress.  I do not wish...</p><p>... I let the great eye live to be my slave.  I let my minions believe what they wish and keep the truth to the dark.  With my great power I control not only my minions, but the great eye itself.  My power has even subjugated the eye infidel Zoryll.  He cowers at my gaze.  Who could stand against such power as mine?  The fiends that invade the misty lands will soon learn this and soon...</p><p>... here in my throne room this journal shall stay.  My throne is my vault.  All my greatest treasures rest within my many mounds of precious gems.  Very few gaze upon this site and only I can bath <em>[sic]</em> in the pools of grandeur.  Let my arcane sentinel, the thing of shattered iron, stop all that dare enter uninvited.  They...</p>

<p>Doesn't appear to be anything significant in these tomes. The first one is a bit about goblin origins, nothing we didn't already know. The second is basically an account of the Goblins escaping from the void invaders in the Enchanted Lands. The third book explains why Runneyeye is no longer dominated by the evil eyes, as it was in EQ1. The fourth just sounds like boasting and telling the player where the boss of the zone can be located.</p>

<p>Never heard of Bolgin Serilis, though. Didn't even know there were any others of the Serilis family, thought there was only Brell.</p>
